Apache http Failed To Start In R12.1.3 after clone

Hiya Buddies!!!

We would like to share this below error which is very normal during cloning. Here, we are facing this issue because of some OS upgrade/incompatibilities from source to target.

We got the below error while starting the EBS Apps services. While start the application services, we found that apache was getting failed as shown below error log details:

Executing service control script:

/u01/test/inst/test_tech/admin/scripts/adapcctl.sh start

Timeout specified in context file: 100 second(s)

script returned:

Status:

Web Entry Point Services   Oracle HTTP Server test_tech          adapcctl.sh      Failed

Solution:

For this we need to apply a patch in 10.1.3 Oracle Home as shown below:

Please find the below steps:

1. We need to source oracle_home to 10.1.3

[tech:] $cd $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/

$ls -ltr *.env

or we can export ORACLE_HOME to 10.1.3 manually...

2. We need to attached oracle home, this step can be ignored also...

$cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin

$./runInstaller -silent -attachHome -invPtrLoc $INST_TOP/admin/oraInst.loc ORACLE_HOME=/u01/test/apps/tech_st/10.1.3  -ignoreSysPrereqs ORACLE_HOME_NAME=test_10_1_3_home

$$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -invPtrLoc \  $INST_TOP/admin/oraInst.loc

3. We need to apply this patch 12722501 on 10.1.3 Oracle Home (OPatch).

$cd /u01/patch/OPatch/12722501

#$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply -invPtrLoc $INST_TOP/admin/oraInst.loc

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply -silent -invPtrLoc \ $INST_TOP/admin/oraInst.loc -ocmrf \ /appdata/delphix/postclone/apps/backup/ocm_response.rsp

Here, -ocmrf is oracle configuration manager response file, it is included with release of opatch.

4. $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -invPtrLoc \ $INST_TOP/admin/oraInst.loc

5. Run the Apps env file.

6. Run autoconfig on Apps Tier.

$cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME

./adautocfg.sh appspass=$APPS_PWD

7. Start the application services.

Note: This solution is not for all cases if apache is not starting. This is only as per MOS.
